sport news PLAYER RATINGS: Harry Maguire has a night to forget but Jude Bellingham shines ... trends now
England and Germany played out a thrilling 3-3 draw to finish their Nations League campaigns at Wembley on Monday night.
The visitors went two goals up early in the second half through an Ilkay Gundogan penalty and a fine Kai Havertz strike, but England hit back in stunning fashion as quickfire goals from Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and a Harry Kane penalty put Gareth Southgate's men 3-2 up.
